6. DE STI NATI O N
Vallarta
The beauty of this destination can be appreciated from the air as a small colonial city surrounded by
tropical vegetation and nestled in the Bahía de Banderas, the biggest bay in Mexico and the second largest
in North America. Puerto Vallarta seems to climb up from the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean towards the
Sierra Madre’s jade-green mountains that evoke really deep emotions. The city center includes the main
courtyard and the emblematic tower of the Church of Guadalupe and her filigree crown. You’ll feel the
magic of Puerto Vallarta that no other beach destination can offer. It brings together the essence and
warmth of an old colonial Mexican town with the luxury and high technology of a modern tourist
destination.
P u n ta de Mita
Punta de Mita is where the most amazing fantasies about the Tropics’ mysticism and beauty do come true.
It’s located about 45 minutes northeast from Puerto Vallarta in an exotic setting that has been created
thanks to the natural formations of volcanic rocks that covered this area of the bay. Long extensions of
fine sand beaches and spectacular clear-blue waters surround Punta de Mita. Punta de Mita is considered
one of the best places to practice deep sea fishing, snorkeling and surfing. Punta de Mita features worldclass restaurants where you can indulge your palate as well as your sight because many of them offer
outstanding views of the bay or dinner under the star-filled skies.
Vis its an d Excu rs ion s *:
•
S cu ba Divin g Trips : For beginners and certified divers. Pro and amateur divers can enjoy the great
marine life that inhabits the clear warm waters of the Bahía de Banderas and Mexican Pacific Ocean.
• G olf: The golf courses around the area are located mostly in Nuevo Vallarta and Puerto Vallarta. You
can reach them by taxi. Just ask at the reception desks about rates.
• Aqu ave n tu ras P ark: This world-class sea attraction and water park is located right next to the exit
towards the Nuevo Vallarta tourist area (10 minutes from the international airport). This magical place
features a series of water games, lazy river, kid’s club and sunbathing areas that provide fun for the whole
family. You’ll learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about dolphins. Watch these noble, beautiful
and intelligent creatures dance and sing. Swim with them in a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Check out the
fun-side of sea lions and exotic birds, and discover the turtle sanctuary while you help support their
conservation and reproduction program.
• Bu ccan e e r N ight Tou r: Sing, dance and laugh until tears fall down your face during the
entertainment shows and games our “pirates” have created just for you. Enjoy a delicious dinner that
includes your choice of beef medallions with shrimp brochette, chicken cordon blue or mahi-mahi filet,
each served with rice, steamed vegetable or pasta. Your adventure includes a fascinating pre-Hispanic show
and fireworks.
• C an opy Adve n tu re s Tou r: Canopy Tour is a truly thrilling ecological experience that offers you the
unique opportunity to glide through the treetops on a network of cables suspended high above the jungle
trails in Puerto Vallarta's tropical forest. On this spectacular eco-adventure tour, you will experience what
can only be described as a pulse-stopping view of one of the most beautiful and complex biological
communities on earth. Just forty-five minutes from Puerto Vallarta, in the heart of the tropical forest of
the Sierra Madre Mountains, lies this private eco-reserve - a biological paradise where you will discover a
stunning profusion of Mexico's tropical flora and fauna. Our Canopy Adventure gives you the opportunity
to experience this amazing wilderness from a unique perspective. With the assistance of our experienced
guides, you can sail from tree to tree and platform to platform on a network of pulleys and horizontal
cables that are mounted between 10 and 70 feet above the ground of the tropical forest. This exciting
adventure consists of 14 observation platforms, 11 horizontal traverses, a Tarzan swing two hanging bridges
and a thrilling vertical descent. Our knowledgeable guides will assist you every step of the way - from the
time you leave the ground until you rappel back down to the forest floor. Our Canopy Adventure was built
and designed by 'The Original Canopy Tour' of Costa Rica which has the best safety record in the industry.
Participants are under the constant care and supervision of highly qualified personal who have received
over 200 hours of formal training in Canopy Tour operations and safety techniques and we use only topquality equipment that is regularly and rigorously inspected and maintained. Designed for thrill seekers of
